While certain people in the games industry make me jump up and down with excitement, there are others who make my personality do a complete U-turn and Tomonobu Itagaki is one of them. Instead of swearing and squealing I become almost silence and humbled; even to the point where Itagaki had to reassure me mid-interview!

Despite this we take some time to talk about the setting up of his new studio -- Valhalla Game Studios -- following his rather messy departure from Team Ninja, and we chat about the studios very first game: Devil's Third.
